Map Editor - trim map
I bit off more than I could chew! (Beaver pun number #1). I wood (#2) like a feature where I could trim the size of a map down after I started creating it. Basically just a simple 'cut' feature. I started making a huge map and realized that really the starting area turned out to be interesting game play just by itself (I've had to play it a couple times to see if I could manage my resources well enough to survive, and that's just on easy mode... make a couple too many planks and you'll be short on logs!)
A mapmaker mode would be really useful for playtesting maps. I had to stop my game a couple times when I realized I didn't have enough trees placed to get a couple basics up and going and I was going to die before any new ones grew. Being able to edit right in the game would make designing new maps much easier to playtest.

Fluid CoreAgree with this! Currently recreating a real location, and I noticed halfway through the process that I've miscounted the size of the map, so I would have to shift the entire map 1 square since I can't alter it. Some way to "cut" terrain (aka mark it and move it to another area) would also make altering things much easier.
